Felicity is my sweet relief from being out numbered by my boys. Boys I love dearly and wouldn't trade for anything but a sweet girl is such a blessing!

I never really got the true difference between boys and girls till I had them myself.

Felicity is sweet and calm. Loves to cuddle and feed her babies, tucks them under the covers every night and nap time with a kiss and a snuggle. She soothes and talks tenderly to her baby brother. Playing house, being the Mommy while her big brother is the daddy, dressing up in princess dresses and gasping at beautiful things like her Aunt Mary's ring are all things that make her, her.

She removes my hand so she can burp Charlie, asks to feed him, has attempted to change his diaper, plays "boo" (play scares him; he loves it) with him, enjoying hair bows, sitting and put on different shoes or looking at and playing with my jewelry for long periods of time.

I thought kids were all crazy like Wes. I love his craziness and Felicity can be crazy with him but she can also be still in a way that he can't. She is content with a coloring book and crayons, give her a pen and a scrap of paper and she will scribble till there is no empty space left.

I love watching her care for her dollies and babies. She has to wrap her babies just so, their arms under the covers and usually have their own pillow and blankets. She feeds them, changes them, asks for a wipe when they poop and just loves on them in such a sweet way. Wes played with dolls too but the innate motherly instinct and tenderness in Felicity is so feminine.

I love our alone time when we get to paint our toes and snuggle together. She kisses my cheek and asks for a "muah" as she points to her own cheek. We color pages of her Disney Princess book or play with her magnetic dolls while she sits happily in my lap. We usually get this quiet time on Saturdays while Matt and Wes work and Charlie naps and I'm pretty sure she enjoys it as much as I do.

I am a stay at home mom of three great kids. I love my husband and together we are trying to raise our kids to love the Lord as we do. I am rarely without my camera or my kids.

My husband, best friend, loving daddy, and avid Farmall lover. We met when I was still in high school and he was working on his family's farm behind our home. He no longer works on the farm full time but still loves his tractors and dreams of refinishing them all one day. He is the head of our home and tries his best to raise his kids to love God and find time to relax with me.

Born October 13, 2006 He is dramatic, energetic, and strong. He rarely walks anywhere as he prefers to jump, run, skip, and ride his way through life. He loves any thing with a motor. He loves to help his Daddy fix things, Mommy with baking, and is a great big brother to his little sister and brother. There is rarely a day that does not end in a bath with this little guy. He brings so much to our lives. We love him and all his chaos!

Born April 17, 2009 Her name means "Happy Girl", and she really is just that. She is our pretty little princess. I never thought that I would have a girl who loves all things girly but I do, and I love it! She loves jewlery, bows, dresses and pretty shoes. She doesn't always act like a princess when she is getting muddy with her older brother or finding worms in the back yard but at the end of the day she is snuggled in bed with an array of babies and pretty blankets. She is my serious snuggle bug and squeaky voiced sweetheart!

Born July 15, 2011 Charlie is one of the happiest and most smiley babies I have ever known. He spends most of his day watching his siblings, bouncing on and in everything and everyone, smiling and eating. His double dimples and contagious giggles melt my heart a little more everyday.
